True...

The use of force never bothered me, Just the fall-out that came afterwards...

Okay that was fun(ny), but seriously(back to the topic somewhat) I wanted to say that Bill Maher's show Politically Incorrect was a piece of crap. You liberals talk about how biased O'Reilly supposedly is. How can you not say that his show was nothing more than liberal propaganda? His panel was undisputedly tilted in his favor or in favor of his viewpoints. Not to mention his audience. I think Bill just wanted to "make believe" that almost everyone agreed with him. Puhhlease!!!

Going down the Clinton road is a complete waste of time.

People IMO and we are all guilty of it call everything they do not believe in crap and everything they believe in the truth. For example, Bill O. is far from a very conservative right winger - he's for gun control, he is for the govt. not being able to shove religion down anyone's throat, he is against the death penalty in most cases, etc. Yet, few liberal will admit that. Now, they are right about Coultergeist

IMO, they did not need to because they could have just relied on SH unwillingness for 11 years to comply with his agreement to demonstrate he had destroyed his WMD. Also, W has already admitted the nuclear thing was a mistake.

Interestingly, the Clinton administration used almost all of the same intelligence to justify its bombing of Iraq and its maintenance of the "no fly zones," which the UN never really officially sanctioned. So, W is not alone in this boat IMO.
Very good point.

Agreed, but I think it is waste of time to go down that same road with W for the reasons I stated earlier.

Thank you for taking this "pshychotic horse galloping towards a burning barn" thread back onto topic. Like I said, the Clinton redux is completely uselesss, unless you are trying to feel better about justifying your own politics.

Sorry, he's the sitting president. I don't expect you to agree with my views but I do have a right to state them. The Bush regime bears similarities to that of Nazi Germany. If we want to start criticizing past presidents, we'd be here for a very long time.

As I have stated many times, I just think everyone should be judged by the same "presidential" standard.

So does this mean that it's OK that the Bush Administration lied since Clinton did?

I'm not asking you to "get it." Do you have any defense of the Bush administration besides former President Clinton?
